The 5th Women Around Hikaru Genji in Piano and Recitation
2026/05/09(sa.) 15:50 Starting
The fifth in the series, "Women Around Hikaru Genji," will be held on May 9 (Sat).
The relationship between Genji and Akashi no Mikoto, who had begun exchanging letters in the previous program, gradually deepened, while in the capital, the late emperor's strong desire for Genji accelerated the movement to bring him back to the capital. Murasaki no Ue, alone in the capital, waits for Genji's return.
The human drama of Kyoto and Akashi is a fascinating story to watch!
And then, Lady Suetsumikano-kun makes her first appearance in the "Suetsumikano-kun" chapters, but since we did not cover this chapters in this series, we will introduce her in the later story "Yomogei" in this issue.
Once again, the world depicted by Murasaki Shikibu will be described by a poetic and beautiful piano (Ayako Uenoyama) and a dramatic recitation (Yukinari Tanaka).
The performance starts at 15:50 on Saturday, May 9 (doors open at 15:30) at the Edobori Kodama Building.
*This time it will be held in the late afternoon on Saturday!
